Canyons of Green Crystals Chapter Two
Suggested Theme:
Main Theme- Promise (Reprise) from Silent Hill 2
Skywarp feels cold and wet. The last time he had felt this way was when he was back on the moon. Starscream told him about monsters residing inside the moon rocks, waiting for a coward to feast upon.
He didn't recharge like the rest of the clones. His optics were too busy staring at the moon rocks. The monsters that were going to come out and tear him apart. He was scared, more scared than he normally was. He couldn't control himself. He sprung an oil leak.
However, oil feels thicker than this. Skywarp looks around to see himself in a warehouse. The same warehouse where he was turned into a bomb. It's dark and cold. He can see webs and furry, evil things running across the moldy floor.
He whimpers and stands up. He notices that the warehouse is a lot bigger than the last time. He looks down to find a puddle. The moon, glowing and malicious, provides a light in the uncomfortable darkness.
He sees himself for the first time since….his second death. He chokes back a scream. He is not a Seeker anymore. He isn't even a Cybertronian anymore. He is…..a hideous, deformed organic!
He is a sickening shade of the moon, a white far too pale to be considered white. His face and nose is pointy like Starscream's heels. His…..eyes are red and big like a monster from his nightmares. He has….black hair that messily points in every direction.
He has something resembling a cable, but the sight of it disgust him. He gets away from the puddle. He is afraid to look at himself again. He slips out of the ruins of the warehouse. He needs….a safe place.
There are lights in the darkness of the night. But none of them offer him safety. The organic stores are closed. His…feet ache after walking through the city. He looks down to see some red stuff leaking from his feet.
He continues to walk, in hopes of a safe place. Somewhere warm and bright. Somewhere that wasn't filled with….other organics. Starscream told him that organics will spit acid at you if they are in a group.
His feet are throbbing with pain. Enough pain for Skywarp to whimper like he got scorned by Slipstream. He looks behind him to see a trail of red in his wake. He has a feeling that this is why he's in pain.
He finds a….safe place. The safe place is yellow and has many broken windows. Yet, there are lights. He can see shadows of beings that are far too large to be organics. He, with a joy that almost pushes back his fear, realizes that this is the Autobots' hideout.
Starscream told him that Autobots protect organics. They cannot hurt him now since he's an organic! He rushes across the gravel, leaving even more red stuff in his wake. He reaches the door and knocks on it. He knocks hard enough for purple, painful splotches to form on his hands.
The door opens. In a cruel twist of fate, an organic is standing before him. The organic is shorter than him, but less gangly. The organic has short, red hair with impossibly blue eyes like an Autobot. She is dark in color, but her….attire is light. The organic is smiling.
"Please, I'm afraid." He croaks out, hoping the organic won't hurt him. The organic's eyes become dim. The smile is gone from her face. He has seen this look before. He has seen it many times on Starscream's merciless face.
The organic is disappointed. Like Starscream has always been with him. He does not know if it is because of his first words as an organic. However, he remembers why Starscream would always be disappointed with him.
It's because he's a coward. It's because he is afraid of everything. It's because he would be nothing more than a coward. Liquid comes from his eyes. Even as an organic, he is nothing more than a coward.
Author's Comments- The story is pretty much divided between Bumblebee's and Skywarp's situations as organics. I'm not going to strictly follow the episodes of the series. Time wise, Bumblebee and Skywarp are very close. Maybe, off by a few hours due to their locations.
